Sweetness is essential for making sweets and cooking. Many people may be cutting back on white sugar for health reasons. While consuming too much sugar is not ideal, it is nice to enjoy sweets occasionally without forcing yourself to abstain.
In macrobiotics, rice malt syrup, amazake, and maple syrup are often used as substitutes for white sugar. All of these provide a mild sweetness indispensable for cooking and baking. Today, we introduce the popular maple syrup from this selection.
**Organic JAS Certified and a Rare Gem Finished with Traditional Methods**Ohsawa Japan directly purchases and imports this syrup from Quebec, Canada, a region famous for producing high-quality maple syrup. Quebec is one of the world's largest production areas, accounting for 90% of all maple products. Organic JAS certified maple syrup harvested by organic farmers accounts for only 4% of that total.
The harvested sap is boiled down over a wood fire to become maple syrup. This method of thickening using a wood fire is a traditional technique passed down from Canadian Indians. While gas-powered methods now account for the majority of production, only about 2% of producers continue to use this traditional method. This is a rare maple syrup, carefully crafted to preserve tradition.
**About Ohsawa Japan**Ohsawa Japan inherits the name of George Ohsawa, the nickname used abroad by Yukikazu Sakurazawa. Since its founding in 1945, it has served as the core of macrobiotic food distribution, selling products that adhere to the highest quality standards to natural food stores, supermarkets, restaurants, cafes, pharmacies, cooking classes, and mail-order businesses nationwide.
**What is Macrobiotics?**Those hearing this word for the first time might think it sounds difficult. However, macrobiotics is actually very simple.
The word consists of three parts:* "Macro": Meaning large or long.* "Bio": Meaning life. It shares the same root as "biology."* "Tic": Representing technique, art, or science.
When you connect these three, the meaning becomes clear: "The theory and method for living a long and full life!" To achieve this, it is necessary to "view life from a broad perspective."
If you or a loved one are currently facing physical or mental challenges, start by standing in the broadest possible perspective to capture the factors causing them. That is the starting point of macrobiotics.
